    Mr. Anup,
    Do you want to start new franchisee business in the same infrastructure?
    If answer is yes, then you should start stock broking and commodity and may be in derivatives.
    If answer is no, then you should opt for any service area, because as a consultant you must be having knowledge of service sector.
    And international trade is also a good option. Check out this year’s budget and you will find so many opportunity.
    You can also take franchisee of Western Union Money Transfer.
